Document management server, mobile terminal and document management system

Abstract

When a user of a mobile phone browses a document in a document management server via a network, the user can input information (sticker information) on the browsed document and send it to the document management server. The document management server relates the received information to the pertinent document file when storing the information. Thus, when a document is browsed from a mobile device, information on the document can be easily left and the information left can be browsed later.

1 . A document management server for managing documents in various formats arbitrarily created, comprising:
 a device which allows a mobile terminal connected to the document management server via a communication network to browse an arbitrary document in the document management server;   a device which acquires sticker information on an electronic sticker attached to a document browsed by the mobile terminal; and   a device which manages the browsed document and the acquired sticker information associated with each other.   
   
   
       2 . The document management server according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the device which allows to browse documents comprises a device which enables the sticker information to be browsed together with the document.   
   
   
       3 . The document management server according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the sticker information includes at least one of a position, type, text information, name of creator, date and time of creation, and level of importance of the electronic sticker.   
   
   
       4 . The document management server according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the device which enables the sticker information to be browsed comprises at least one of: a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker attached in the same position, a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker attached by the same creator, a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker with respect to each creator, a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker attached on the same date of creation, a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker in the order of the date of creation, and a device for browsing sticker information items on electronic sticker with respect to each level of importance.   
   
   
       5 . A mobile terminal which is connected via a communication network to the document management server according to  claim 1  and can browse an arbitrary document in the document management server, the mobile terminal comprising:
 a device which attaches an electronic sticker to a browsed document; and   a device which outputs sticker information on the electronic sticker to the document management server.   
   
   
       6 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the sticker information includes at least one of a position, type, text information, name of creator, date and time of creation, and level of importance of the electronic sticker.   
   
   
       7 . A document management system, comprising:
 a document management server for managing documents in various formats arbitrarily created, which comprises:
 a device which allows a mobile terminal connected to the document management server via a communication network to browse an arbitrary document in the document management server; 
 a device which acquires sticker information on an electronic sticker attached to a document browsed by the mobile terminal; and 
 a device which manages the browsed document and the acquired sticker information associated with each other, and 
   a mobile terminal connected via a communication network to the document management server and browse an arbitrary document in the document management server, which comprises:
 a device which attaches an electronic sticker to a browsed document; and 
 a device which outputs sticker information on the electronic sticker to the document management server.
